Due to clash with church Light Parties (alternatives to Halloween) and a number of students/parents involved – we are changing the Athletic Sports finals to the Wednesday evening of 1st November. Apologies if this is clash for anyone.

We are so thankful to God for wonderful weather today for our Year 5-8 qualifying heats for the Athletic Sports. The day went really well and it was wonderful to see the students trying their hardest, supporting peers and showing their talents.

Please note that results are PROVISIONAL and need to be checked for spelling errors and distances/times etc.. Some other students may be added (ie were at Cricket today or absent or injured). Please email Mr Norton if you think there is an error.

A big thanks to all the family and friends who came to support children. Thanks to the Year 10 Sports Captains and all the staff fir such a well run event. A big thanks to Suzanen McLister and Barry Auckram for getting the fields in a fantsatic condition!

Well done to our Year 7/8 Boys’ Cricket team who beat Lincoln School 115-65 in the Canterbury play-off yesterday at Lincoln. Our team now moves through to the South Island Finals next Wednesday and Thursday.

Here is a report from Cindy Ehau on our Under 65kg Canterbury Metro. rugby reps. who played in the holidays:

It was a great weekend of rugby in Dunedin.

Lots of good hard competition with Canterbury Metro U65kg coming in 3rd.

They lost the first two games and won the last three. Southland won and Otago came 2nd Canterbury Country was 4th.

The boys played hard learned lots and made some good mates.

We are proud of them.

Jacob was named in the South Island team. He was chosen along with other top players from all the teams. They were photographed in the yellow uniform at the end of the tournament. The team doesn’t play but it shows they were the stand out players of the tournament and South Island.
